# More force_input() and $do_command()...

    Now wait a sec... (and it's time to spark some debate!)

    Pavel posted a response to somebody's message about this thread,
    saying that the connection was not made so the text was parsed by
    do_login_command() instead of do_command().  Okay, I guess.  Stupidly,
    I didn't think about this stuff until now, so here's my philosophy
    on the subject.  Basically, I'm trying to decide if this is "right".

    I believe that the only connections that should send to
    do_login_command() are those which are negative object numbers, /not/
    including people who aren't logged in.  This seems more correct to
    me, seeing that, if the server gets a command from any positive
    object number, it normally treats it as being from a connected
    object, and if I remember Pavel's post correctly (and if not, them
    I'm just a moron and this whole post can be ignored), this makes the
    server take input from a positive object number and pass it through
    do_login_command().

    Another issue... what about multiple listeners?  Should we make an
    extra argument for force_input() to tell what listener object to
    send the command to?  I know that most people currently probably
    are only using #0 for everything with the possible exception of a
    web server (like me), but still, we lose "functionality" if we can
    only force_input() to #0.  Agreements?  Disagreements?

    If anything comes of this thread and people agree with me, I think
    we should have the next maintainer add a patch for it.  (Pavel, will
    you be announcing the new maintainer soon?  If not, I may ask for
    any bug fixes and make an unofficial one myself if people agree with
    me here.)
